I agree with you on the profit, where are all the iphone users backing up to and why do Apple only supply 5GB free when the smallest device is 8GB. If you don;t have a personal computer you should be backing up to the cloud.

nospam
you don't understand how apple's cloud works.

What do you mean by Apples cloud. ?

you don't need 8 gig to back up 8 gig.

So what sort of size backup space to you need to store 8GB of yuor data. ?

Whisky-dave
(I'm using the iphone as I know people that use them on my Mac as a backup rather than the cloud). I don;t think you can just plug a HDD into the USB port and back everything up, there;'s a reason for that I guess.

nospam
of course you can.

How ? You need software for it its not drag and drop.

I'm not sure that's true for me anyway the cloud idea represents a wireless connection and me not needing any aditional hardware to make use of it. The 'Cloud' is njust a buzz word it's still HDDs and file system on the actual ground somewhere in the world.

nospam
the cloud is not a buzzword.

Yes it is. They could have used all sorts of words but chose the word cloud.

it's a very real and functional thing that is going to become more prevalent going forward.

It is not a cloud, your data isn;t floating around on fluffy white things in the sky, any more than you data is stored in condoms.

The reason they call it a cloud is because that's how it was represented on diagrams early on and the name sort of stuck. They could have used a burger, or a garden shed.
